AskWoody LoungerAugust 8, 2009 at 5:20 am #1172707Excel has no built-in support for SUMIF or COUNTIF across multiple sheets.
It is possible to create custom VBA functions that provide this capability – see the section POWER PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES By Myrna Larson and David Hager in Excel Experts E-letter 3.However, it will be impossibe to use them in your example since the ranges on the two sheets are different (A8:B11 on Sheet1 and A1:B4 on Sheet2). You will have to ensure that the ranges are the same on all sheets.

AskWoody LoungerAugust 10, 2009 at 7:15 am #1172853You MUST ensure that the ranges to be used in the SumIf3D formula are in the same location on each sheet, say A1:B4. You can then use formulas such as
=SumIf3D(“Sheet1:Sheet2!$A$1:$A$4”,E1,$B$1:$B$4)
where E1 contains the condition. See the attached version.
I have converted all the codes into Add-in. Working fine so far. Is it possible to insert ” in formula by default instead of putting manually.

AskWoody LoungerAugust 10, 2009 at 7:34 am #1172859I’m not sure I understand your question, but if you want to omit the quotes around Sheet1:Sheet2!$A$1:$A$4 in the formula
=SumIf3D(“Sheet1:Sheet2!$A$1:$A$4”,E1,$B$1:$B$4)
the answer is no. The first argument must be a string.
No Hans, i dont want to remove the quotes. When I simply enter formula & select sheet2 using shift key, it looks like =SumIf3D(Sheet1:Sheet2!$A$1:$A$4,E1,$B$1:$B$4) and result appear as #value. I have to put quotes manually in range to get the results. What I want is to make the ” ” as default part of formula.

BoscoHi Bosco
I think this is simply great. I am assuming that this does work with more than 2 Sheets.

It does – just add more sheet names to the list. If you have many sheets, it is easier to enter the sheet names in a range of cells, say H1:H10 if you have 10 sheets. You can then use H1:H10 instead of {“Sheet1″;”Sheet2″}
(If the sheet names may contain spaces, you must use ”‘”&H1:H10&”‘”)
